I, Samuel Elliot of Boston in the County of Suffolk and Common- wealth of Massachusetts, I abovenamed, make oath & say, That I was enlisted in the service of the United States in the Revolutionary War, on the first day of September in the year of our Lord seventeen hundred and seventy nine, in the second Regiment of Dragoons, in the Company of Cap. Elisha Wadsworth, and regularly moved in the same, till discharged at the close of that war, in June, about the third day, A. D. 1783, having served about three years and nine months, — Said Corps of Dragoons was a mixed Corps, and therefore was not of any particular line, — Said second regiment was com- manded by Elisha Sheldon, during the whole period of my service, but the Cap- tain above named, was the one under whom I was discharged. My company

was called the 2 nd in the Regiment, and its Captain when I enlisted was David Edgels. I was discharged in Danbury, Connecticut, at the time above named, having enlisted "to serve" during the "The War," and my discharge was on account of its close. My reduced circumstances render me in want of assistance from the United States, and this is the cause of my application for the Pension lately granted by the Congress of these States. I obtained the "Badge of Merit" on my discharge, for three years faithful service, which was bestowed on those who served for that period.
